Hushpuppies Ingredients
Method
Hushpuppies Directions
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add Vegetables and Wet Ingredients
Stir in the chopped onion and green bell pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beaten egg, then add to the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Hushpuppies
Using a small scoop or spoon, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve warm as a delicious second course alongside your whiskey dinner.
